Kavanaugh Accuser Reemerges, Now She’s Damaging Someone Else’s Life

We haven’t heard much from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford since she came forward to accuse Justice Brett Kavanaugh of attempted rape after allegedly recalling a “repressed memory” from a drunken high school party just as the well-respected judge was set to claim his seat on the Supreme Court. But Ford is back, and it appears that she’s damaging someone else’s reputation this time around.

It seemed that after Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, his first accuser slipped back into obscurity, although quite a bit richer, thanks to donations sent her way from gullible leftists via a very lucrative GoFundMe page. However, it appears that we have not seen the last of the controversial professor from California.

Christine Blasey Ford, who has not spoken publicly since her testimony against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, is now featured in a video presenting Sports Illustrated’s Inspiration of the Year Award to Rachel Denhollander, the first woman to accuse USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar of sexual assault.

There is no denying Denhollander’s bravery in coming out against Nassar. After she spoke up, a flood of credible accusations came in, which resulted in Nassar being sentenced to up to 175 years in prison. Ultimately, over 150 women testified against the disgraced doctor.

Denhollander was a low-level, 15-year-old gymnast with back pain when her mother landed an appointment with the renowned Nassar in 2000. In five sessions over the course of a year, she says, he penetrated her with ungloved hands and rubbed her breasts and genitals. He positioned himself so that her mother, Camille Moxon, could not see what he was doing, and he did it with an ease that convinced Denhollander she was not his first victim. In fact, she would learn he was accused of abusing more than 500 athletes over two decades, including Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman.

Denhollander is a hero, to be sure, which is why having Ford present her award is so upsetting — to compare the two women is to impune Denhollander’s reputation, as Ford was hardly a credible accuser.

For starters, Ford had absolutely no evidence to corroborate her outlandish claims. In fact, all three of the witnesses she named as having been present for the alleged attack could not even confirm her account of the events of the party in question when they were asked about it by the FBI.

Furthermore, an independent legal analysis conducted after Ford’s testimony before Congress noted multiple inconsistencies in her story. It was determined that, if put on criminal trial, Ford’s case wouldn’t stand a chance. By contrast, Denhollander’s case actually did go to criminal court and was found to be legally compelling.

Likewise, while Denhollander’s accusation inspired many women to come forward with their equally credible stories, Ford had the opposite effect. Ford’s accusations brought a couple other women forward, none of whom were even remotely believable.

There was even found to be a very suspicious connection between Ford and fellow Kavanaugh accuser, Julie Swetnick: More than ten years ago, Swetnick received a financial settlement in a sexual harassment lawsuit against New York Life Insurance, her former employer. The firm run by Debra Katz, the attorney who represented Christine Blasey Ford, represented Swetnick in that complaint.

Still, Ford was placed on a pedestal by the political left, as she was their last and final hope in keeping Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court. Of course, their efforts ultimately failed, but they did achieve something unexpected in the process; namely, trivializing actual assault survivors like Rachel Denhollander and millions of others. Not to mention the fact that the trend of simply believing anything and everything a woman says is incredibly dangerous for men.
